Weaned on the teats of the State, these individuals are imbued with the 'democratic' philosophy that government is there to provide for their endeavors, even if it means having the State aggress against others to relieve them of life’s little uncertainties and risks. Democracy gives them a say-so in the political process, a process where coercive powers are exercised at will via majority rule. Once the nipples of democracy have been exposed to the piglets gathering round the hub of majority rule, we engender a perpetual breeding process of decadent usurpation by the masses over the few."</i></div><div class="MsoNormal">Karen De Coster</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>"Demagoguery loves to emphasize a distinction between human rights and property rights. The distinction is without validity and only serves to arouse envy. The right to own is the mark of a free man. The slave is a slave simply because he is denied that right. And because the free man is secure in the possession and enjoyment of what he produces, and the slave is not, the spur to production is in one and not in the other. Men produce to satisfy their desires and if their gratifications are curbed they cease to produce beyond the point of limitation; on the other hand the only limit to their aspirations is the freedom to enjoy the fruits of their labors.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>That fact, deep rooted in the nature of man, accounts for the progress of civilization when and where the right of property is recognized, and for the retrogression that follows from its denial. Property rights and human rights are more than complementary; they are identical."</i></div><div class="MsoNormal">Frank Chodorov</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>"Even under the worst circumstances, even if the Mafia controlled the United States, I can’t believe Tony Soprano or Al Capone would try to steal 40% of people’s income from them every year. They couldn’t get away with it. But—perhaps because we’re said to be a democracy—the US Government is able to masquerade as 'We the People.' That’s an anachronism, at best. The US has mutated into a domestic multicultural empire. The average person has been propagandized into believing that it’s patriotic to do as he’s told. 'We have to obey libraries of regulations, and I’m happy to pay my taxes. It’s the price we pay for civilization.' No, that’s just the opposite of the fact. Those things are a sign that civilization is degrading, that the society is becoming less individually responsible, and has to be held together by force."</i></div><div class="MsoNormal">Doug Casey</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>"Government is the last place one should look for deciding how to school children, how to run schools, how to run police and how to produce law enforcement for its citizens.

No one can 'explain' it to you; as a moral, ethical and rational being it’s up to you to learn, to understand and to embrace the difference for yourself. You either own yourself or someone owns you.

In the host of special interests using the political process to repress and loot the rest of us, the protectionists are among the most venerable.

That fallacy suggests that when automation or technology eliminates a job, there’s nothing that people want that would create employment for the person displaced by the automation. In other words, all human wants have been satisfied."</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">Walter Williams</div><div><br /></div>Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136818433393147797.post-62520252200069370502018-02-27T20:09:00.001-06:002018-02-28T04:07:49.983-06:00US Crimes of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y6QxcYhdvKE/WpYPO85S6wI/AAAAAAAADqM/gJrBcdcxzps0sAJN0rNYLnjOpj8jj4fMACLcBGAs/s1600/US%2BCRIME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y6QxcYhdvKE/WpYPO85S6wI/AAAAAAAADqM/gJrBcdcxzps0sAJN0rNYLnjOpj8jj4fMACLcBGAs/s200/US%2BCRIME.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b>Truthful headlines (and just one week’s worth) offering you more reasons to separate yourselves from The Regime’s madness:</b><br /><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://personalliberty.com/bill-combines-worst-online-censorship-schemes/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Threatening More Online Censorship</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The Regime’s (and governments in general) typical response to a problem is to punish a few offenders by punishing <i>everyone</i>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="http://theduran.com/democrats-want-taxpayers-to-give-them-300m-to-fight-100k-in-russian-troll-facebook-ads/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime’s Gestapo Wants $300 Million Raise</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>This after they <a href="http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/florida-high-school-shooter-was-on-polices-radar-in-2016/article22791064.ece">failed </a>to stop a violent, teenage wacko who was on their radar for months.&nbsp;</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-23/trump-is-said-to-favor-stiffest-u-s-steel-aluminum-tariffs"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Emperor Wants to Raise Your Steel and Aluminum Prices</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>He has to pay back his bribes (campaign contributions) to the corporate cartels and union thugs.</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/02/24/report-obama-library-cost-taxpayers-175-million/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ex-Emperor Needs $175 Million of Stolen Money</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The planned Obama Worship Center needs nice streets to host the South Side’s world famous black-on-black gun fights.</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/diplomacy/article/2134523/trumps-toughest-ever-north-korean-sanctions-hit-more-50-ships"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Ready to Blockade North Korea</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>They still try to call such actions, “sanctions” but warning they will board and capture ships creates a virtual blockade.</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="https://in.reuters.com/article/mideast-crisis-syria-coalition/syrian-observatory-u-s-led-coalition-strike-kills-25-idINKCN1GA0SM"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Kills Children in Syria</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>But no <a href="http://ifthedevilhadmenopause.com/never-again/">#Never Again</a> or <a href="https://www.infowars.com/leftists-are-calling-for-a-childrens-crusade-for-gun-control/">#ChildrensCrusade</a> outcry for these children.

For the shooters, guaranteed a rather hazard free opportunity to maim and kill as many disarmed humans as they wished or found the time for."</i><br />Bill Buppert<br /><br /><i>"Though the media often attempts to twist the gun rights debate into a web of complexity, gun rights is in fact a rather simple issue — either you believe that people have an inherent right to self defense, or you don't. All other arguments are a peripheral distraction."</i><br />Brandon Smith<br /><br /><i>"Even though Texas is not likely to meekly turn in its arms at the prodding of Washington, the day is fast approaching when D.C. will demand just that. There will be no reasoning with them, nor successful appeals to the Constitution and legality; their mind will be made up. And, if we are still tethered to a greater American populace that has been swayed by left-wing fire-arms sophistry when the order is issued, how long do you think our politicians will stand up to them before tucking tail? Not long, I’d wager! If Texas wants to avoid this inevitability, the ONLY way is to go our own way: independence, resigning our membership in the federal union. For make no mistake, whether whittled away bit-by-bit or whisked-away in one fell swoop, gun-rights as they have been in America are coming to an end."</i><br />Ryan Thorson<br /><br /><i>"The cops are essentially crime historians.&nbsp; They show up after a crime has been committed, then they write up a report about the crime to be used to beg the legislature for more money for police salaries and more cops for the benefit of police union revenues."</i><br />Tom DiLorenzo<br /><br /><i>"Clinging to the status quo of existing regional and national boundaries is reactionary in the extreme. Insisting that no community ought to be allowed self government unless its leaders are hard-core libertarians is impractical, irresponsible, and doomed to failure.&nbsp;</i><br /><i>Nevertheless, when confronted with new attempts at decentralization and secession, even some of those who claim to be for freedom and self-determination cling to ideas of imposing nationalistic control over others. They invent emotion-laden fictional slogans claiming 'we are one nation' or 'secession is treason' or other sayings designed to justify using the power of the state to impose political unity.&nbsp; Ultimately, this is an ideology of monopoly and coercion, and tramples the very ideals of freedom that the nationalists claim they hold dear."</i><br />Ryan McMaken<br /><br /><i>"Democracy is an esoteric belief system that manipulates the people in such a way that all power flows to the state. As with pure dictatorships, power flows from the top down. Democracy implies freedom in the public’s mind while power and wealth is constantly channeled to the Federal government. Human liberty is regressively crushed under the one simple word, 'democracy.' The American system has the trappings of representative government — was created to be a representative republic — but is fascism in reality. Fascism with a pretty face (call it democracy) is far more deceptive and sinister."</i><br />Bob Livingston<br /><br /><i>"Philosophically, America adopted fascism, progressivism and socialism. It adopted militarism. All these philosophies (and a good many others) are immoral, and that turns into social failure when they are pursued and elaborated within institutions."</i><br />Michael Rozeff<br /><br /><i>"Truth is the enemy of the state, and the state is eliminating the truth.</i><br /><i>Peoples in the United States, Europe, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the various vassal states, such as Japan, all live day in, day out, an orchestrated lie that serves interests directly opposed to the interests of the peoples.</i><br /><i>Governments that do not rest on truth rest on tyranny."</i><br />Paul Craig Roberts<br /><br /><i>"The problem is that Americans barely even have a culture anymore. And, assuming being united is a good thing, which is questionable, it’s now impossible anyway. We’re now 'multicultural'—Mexicans, Somalis, Kenyans, Iraqis, Pakistanis—people that generally don’t understand what it means to be an American. Nor do they particularly care to find out. The days of Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best are in the distant past.</i><br /><i>Today’s Russians are actually more culturally similar to the old America than the new multicultural U.S. is."</i><br />Doug Casey<br /><br /><i>"Both left and right are the same, just different afflictions of authoritarianism. They are as 'different' as a left and a right jackboot on your neck. Those who continue to think in terms of left and right, even after calling themselves libertarians, will never be libertarians.They will never grasp that the only 'versus' that matters and makes sense is libertarianism versus authoritarianism."</i><br />Garry Reed<br /><br /><i>"Men are not omniscient. They are bounded by uncertainty. The free market offers a way to deal with this uncertainty: entrepreneurship. Men of necessity must face the future. They do their best to see what is coming. They delegate to specialists in forecasting the responsibility of allocating resources for future production. Then consumers bid against each other for these goods and services. By their bids, they bless certain entrepreneurs with profits, but thereby curse others with losses. Through the incessant process of resource allocation and bidding, individuals shape the world in which they live."</i><br />Gary North<br /><br /><i>"Guns represent one’s right to defend one’s own self, one’s own spark of existence, one’s own life from unprovoked attack.</i><br /><i>Historically speaking, they’ve helped to turn the tables on physically strong predators who wish to prey on the weak, meek and most vulnerable.</i><br /><i>Like all technological innovations, they ushered in a new paradigm. Each paradigm has its own set of pros and cons.</i><br /><i>Each paradigm is also a psychological construct.</i><br /><i>To demolish this psychological paradigm for an illusion (yes, illusion) of safety, even just by chipping away at the idea of it, sets, as history shows, monumentally dangerous precedent.</i><br /><i>It’s a step backward."</i><br />Chris Campbell<br /><br />Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136818433393147797.post-37408048101686295312018-02-23T09:37:00.000-06:002018-02-23T09:41:26.100-06:00US Crimes of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-at6OeOdwNYg/Wo9EgTyEX1I/AAAAAAAADps/5GJM1fjRBlI8Tsjy8yXgzxd-UF6kJ1yxgCLcBGAs/s1600/US%2BCRIME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-at6OeOdwNYg/Wo9EgTyEX1I/AAAAAAAADps/5GJM1fjRBlI8Tsjy8yXgzxd-UF6kJ1yxgCLcBGAs/s200/US%2BCRIME.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b>Truthful headlines (and just one week’s worth) offering you more reasons to separate yourselves from The Regime’s madness:</b><br /><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/confirmed-us-retrains-isis-isis-like-jihadists-east-syria-re-brands-democratic-forces-video-exclusive/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime ‘Retraining’ Terrorists</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>They’re captured and re-branded as “freedom fighters.”</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="https://www.defensenews.com/breaking-news/2017/09/18/us-breaks-ground-for-new-permanent-base-in-israel/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Builds Base at Home of Zionist Terrorists</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Despite being nuclear armed and possessing one of the most powerful militaries in the world, they apparently can’t protect themselves without the help of Uncle Sam-ski.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>So how is it the moral and financial responsibility of US tax slaves to provide protection to Israel?</div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-reactions-factbox/reactions-to-russian-indictments-in-2016-u-s-election-meddling-probe-idUSKCN1G02BI"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Indicts ‘Meddling’ Facebook Trolls</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Let’s hope this comical action exposes <a href="https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/rule-of-law/muellers-questionable-indictment/">the use of grand juries as a political weapon</a>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>In the mean time, the whole world <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-16/muellers-investigation-farce-files-joke-indictment-against-russian-trolls">can laugh at them</a>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>After recovering from your laughter, make sure to view the list of The Regime’s own <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-17/former-cia-chief-admits-us-meddling-foreign-elections-their-own-good">Meddling Moments</a>, if you’re not already familiar with them.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Why, these “exceptional Amerikans” even <a href="https://content.time.com/time/magazine/0,9263,7601960715,00.html">meddled in evil Russia!</a> And proudly so!</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/15/cia-argues-the-public-cant-see-classified-information-it-has-already-given-to-favored-reporters/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Claims Only Regime Controlled Media Can View Classified Information</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Only the propaganda artists at the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post are allowed such access.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/guantanamo-prepared-inmates-us-admiral-183607671.html"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Ready for More Prisoners at Gulag</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>They’re prepared to accept more “detainees” while The Emperor searches the world for more “bad dudes.”</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/02/18/552817/Plane-crash-US-Iran-sanctions-aviation"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Killing Iranians With Sanctions</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>They can’t replace old commercial planes and those outdated planes are crashing.</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/russia-claims-us-supplying-weapons-terrorists-afghanistan-unmarked-helicopters-2655899"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Supplying Weapons to ISIS in Afghanistan?</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Why not?

Controlled perception-based reality is only a Facebook 'like' away from killing one person or one million or elevating a liar or the warmonger responsible for the killing to hero status or to the control of the CIA or FBI or the US presidency."</i><br />Paul Craig Roberts<br /><br /><i>"They’ll say if you use bitcoin you’re a money launderer, a drug dealer, a terrorist, or a tax evader. Actually, the morality involved in all those activities is worth a separate discussion… it’s perverse they’re always classed together."</i><br />Doug Casey<br /><br /><i>"In a capitalist society, all human relationships are voluntary. Men are free to cooperate or not, to deal with one another or not, as their own individual judgments, convictions, and interests dictate. They can deal with one another only in terms of and by means of reason, i.e., by means of discussion, persuasion, and contractual agreement, by voluntary choice to mutual benefit. The right to agree with others is not a problem in any society; it is the right to disagree that is crucial. It is the institution of private property that protects and implements the right to disagree — and thus keeps the road open to man’s most valuable attribute (valuable personally, socially, and objectively): the creative mind."</i><br />Ayn Rand<br /><br /><i>"Superficial patriotism is the most attractive form of patriotism for any politician. It encourages spectacle without substance. Bluster without tangible success. Chest-thumping without sacrifice. Any big military parade in the U.S. will be a definitive sign of desperate insecurity and evidence that the American empire is expiring."</i><br />Mike Krieger<br /><br /><i>"Anything that becomes politicized ceases to be about that thing and becomes all about the politics."</i><br />Garry Reed<br /><br /><i>"Do you suppose a 'guaranteed basic income' will give anyone more freedom? It is the ultimate in altruism. The goal of altruism is always to conceal the political agenda, promote ignorance of wealth and finance, create a state of mind of dependence on government and the establishment and quash every form of individualism, independence and creative thinking.</i><br /><i>Any form of UBI can only promote ignorance of monetary realism whereby government can perpetually transfer wealth to itself with 'money' that it creates and support the 'morality' of government and the system, not the individual."</i><br />Bob Livingston<br /><br /><i>"Simply asking people to get along isn’t going to work so long as there is a massive power structure in place that is driving the actual fear. If the people are afraid of the Trumps and KKKs of the world, they could demand their politicians dismantle the power structures at the federal level so it cannot be taken over by disfavored groups and reinstall them at a local level where it is far easier to control who hold the reins of power."</i><br />Justin Murray<br /><br /><i>"But if support for the principle of self-determination is to have any meaning whatsoever, it must allow for others to make decisions with which we disagree. Political competition can only benefit all of us. What neither progressives nor conservatives understand — or worse, maybe they do understand — is that secession provides a mechanism for real diversity, a world where we are not all yoked together. It provides a way for people with widely divergent views and interests to live peaceably as neighbors instead of suffering under one commanding central government that pits them against each other."</i><br />Jeff Deist<br /><br /><i>"The incentive system present in the government arrangement is the basic reason why it tends strongly to produce the opposite of what it is supposed to produce and what it claims it is producing. Competition to gain and (mis)use political power does not result in society-wide benefits. It results in an accretion of centralized power and its increasing misuse. Individuals inside the system may seem to be sincerely interested in doing some 'good' things, but it’s always as they see the good. The fact is that they cannot administer power for 'good'. They are too limited even to know what that 'good' is, much less know how to use power to bring it about. And, let’s face it, they are far from selfless servants and neither are their constituencies and donors. Self-interest in the presence of power is toxic, and it will overcome any checks and balances."</i><br />Michael Rozeff<br /><br /><i>"But now, in which direction has latter-day American Liberalism tended? Has it tended towards an expanding régime of voluntary cooperation, or one of enforced cooperation? Have its efforts been directed consistently towards repealing existent measures of State coercion, or towards the devising and promotion of new ones? Has it tended steadily to enlarge or to reduce the margin of existence within which the individual may act as he pleases?

In a corporatist system of government, which America unquestionably has, corporate censorship is government censorship, of an even more pernicious strain than if Jeff Sessions were touring the country burning books. The more advanced artificial intelligence becomes, the more adept these power structures will become at manipulating us."</i></div><div>Caitlin Johnstone</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Real libertarians – in contrast to left-libertarian fakes – must study and take account of real people and real human history in order to design a libertarian strategy of social change, and even the most cursory study in this regard – indeed, little more than common sense – yields results completely opposite from those proposed by libertarian fakes."</i></div><div>Hans-Herman Hoppe</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The way we're going to move forward in this world is not by finding a person who's good enough to make bad systems work, but by investing in systems that incentivize even the bad person to make himself or herself accountable to creating value for others. And I know of no other system like that than the free market."</i></div><div>T.K. Coleman</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Conservatives tend to be instinctive 'rule of law' sycophants who are a curious hybrid of Romans 13 idolaters and Constitutional fetishists who believe that no parchment can be indecorous enough to enable larger government. The history proves them violently wrong."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"'The people' – it sounds dreamy – have no 'will' – and are certainly not sovereign – because no such creature as 'the people' exists in fact; the term is a rhetorical device used&nbsp; by lawyers to legitimate the trampling of the rights of individual people – who do exist and have rights. These must be respected – morally as well as legally – else they are merely conditional privileges subject to modification or outright revocation at the whim of any politician, or group of them – or court – which declares it is acting on behalf of 'the people.'</i></div><div><i>In fact, of course, these politicians and so on are acting on behalf of themselves. Or a clique. They cannot ever be acting on behalf of all, in which case the rights of some are&nbsp; necessarily abused. And if is permissible to abuse the rights of some, then the rights of none are secure – are anything other than conditional privileges.</i></div><div><i>As intended."</i></div><div>Eric Peters</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"To power seekers, the most attractive government is some form of collectivism. It can be any name, but it must be collectivism. Collectivism is ideal for government expansion at the expense of the people. Collectivism attracts hard-wired psychopaths who use the system for cronyism and their aggrandizement. They care not one whit about constitutional government and the rule of law. They only care about a political facade to hide their chicanery.</i></div><div><i>The result is the collectivist American system that has gradually adopted the 10 planks of communism without Americans even being aware of it."</i></div><div>Bob Livingston</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Even if the Russian government were directly or indirectly involved in trying to influence the U.S. elections, the answer is, 'Why not?'</i></div><div><i>U.S. elections influence the rest of the world. The Russians, the Europeans, Koreans, Chinese—everybody—have a huge stake in who the Kardashian-watching Walmart shoppers vote for in the quadrennial popularity contest. If the U.S. Government didn’t have hundreds of military bases around the world, and didn’t control the world’s financial system, they wouldn’t care nearly as much.</i></div><div><i>Not only that, the U.S. has a long history of actively, violently, and directly influencing the elections in foreign countries in every way possible, most recently in the Ukraine. And if that doesn’t work, fomenting a coup d’etat."</i></div><div>Doug Casey</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"What makes those who pilot our empire think they have the right to intervene anywhere they please? They say that they do it for the good ends that they imagine are their noble inspirations. They say that they do it expecting good results. They invariably assure us that they are acting humanely and righteously. They assure us that this is for own security as well as to make a better world.</i></div><div><i>Our aspirations and expectations do not, however, confer rights on us to intervene in the affairs of others. If they did, then we’d have to accept and approve of the rights of others to intervene in our lives. Do we accept their rights to do so? Of course not. If they have no such rights to invade our property, our lands, our ways and our lives, then neither do we have rights to invade theirs. Will lives be led as a free-for-all in which everyone may invade anyone else, or will we adopt civilized behavior in which we follow rules that respect the ways of others by not intervening in their political systems?"</i></div><div>Michael Rozeff</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"There is a Deep State. What are we saying when we talk about a Deep State? We're talking about the people who survive presidents. These are not political appointees who come and go in this office or that office. They're the people who are senior enough to influence policy, to shape the government's understanding of an issue... they cause harm, they violate rights, they make us the United States less safe as a nation. And they destabilize peace, not just here at home but around the world..."</i></div><div>Edward Snowden</div></div><div><br /></div>Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136818433393147797.post-75039886287720664052018-02-02T13:45:00.001-06:002018-02-02T13:45:21.203-06:00US Crimes of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fNXPS2Hn0CU/WnS_rfkbQNI/AAAAAAAADoM/EYn-FQaI8TcTKNzvE_V_4kPVk5VPcTOnQCLcBGAs/s1600/US%2BCRIME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fNXPS2Hn0CU/WnS_rfkbQNI/AAAAAAAADoM/EYn-FQaI8TcTKNzvE_V_4kPVk5VPcTOnQCLcBGAs/s200/US%2BCRIME.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b>Truthful headlines (and just one week’s worth) offering you more reasons to separate yourselves from The Regime’s madness:</b><br /><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://taxfoundation.org/federal-tax-changes-new-year/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Gangsters Reinstate Medical Tax</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>You now get to pay more for that device that keeps your heart beating.

Human beings create the world we live in. Nothing about our governments or economy are provided to us by nature or the divine. The insufferable centralized hierarchies we live under were created by other humans that came before us, and are aggressively propagated by those currently in power. There’s absolutely no reason we need to accept these systems as permanent or perfect.</i></div><div><i>Looking for a savior in a President is a slave mentality. We need to stop being slaves. Oprah, Trump, Mark Cuban, it doesn’t matter. Nobody is coming to save you. It’s time to grow up. The real power resides in ourselves.</i></div><div><i>The world of the future will be the world we create. If we want that world to be vastly better we need to stop looking outside of ourselves for the answer. We need to look inward, find our strength and get to work. If you expect someone else to come in and fix things you’ve already lost."</i></div><div>Michael Krieger</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Politicians are crude, monotonous and uncommitted to anything that does not grow their power and the power of the state. It seems that the politicians have a language and word system that baffles and stupefies the public mind. There is no doubt about it, consummate political power lies in the power to deceive."</i></div><div>Bob Livingston</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The state has a natural inclination to criminalize anything that interferes with its presumed right to rule."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The U.S. has turned into a domestic empire. It’s no longer the country that it was when it was founded. And the constitution itself has changed at least as much. It’s a dead letter. Mainly window dressing. It’s been interpreted out of existence."</i></div><div>Doug Casey&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Despite what happens in California, Texan’s future lies with Texas and not with Washington. With or without California, Texas is clearly better off apart from the union of states. However, it would be a shame for America to have to go through the trouble of redesigning the U.S.&nbsp; flag on Texas’ account. If the creation of the State of Jefferson becomes a reality, then they can have our star on Old Glory, once we’ve recalled our sovereignty from Washington."</i></div><div>Jesse Newbery</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The Constitution articulates in flowery prose the means by which rights are to be suborned and transformed into conditional privileges; for example, the gauzy 'will of the people' will be 'represented' by a handful of actual people called politicians and bureaucrats and judges – whose opinions become binding on 'the people.'</i></div><div><i>But this is lawyer-talk. There is no 'people.' No single body, imbued with a single consciousness and – morally, the key point – unanimous in its feeling, capable of giving unanimous free consent to an action of the government. Without such unanimity and free consent you have the trampling of the will of individual people, which is contrary to their rights and which therefore can never be moral."</i></div><div>Eric Peters</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Americans are some of the most soulful, creative and brilliant humans on this planet. That's why the machine needs to propagandize them so aggressively."</i></div><div>Caitlin Johnstone</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Civilization, is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with people stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river."</i></div><div>Will Durant</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"No one makes a better life by going around interfering unasked for in the lives of others. No country as a whole as represented by its state makes a better life for its citizens by going around interfering unasked for in the domestic affairs of other countries and their states."</i></div><div>Michael Rozeff</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Human action originates change.

We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it is degrading to make the attempt."</i></div><div>Christopher Hitchens</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"War sends the current of purpose and activity flowing down to the lowest level of the herd, and to its most remote branches. All the activities of society are linked together as fast as possible to this central purpose of making a military offensive or a military defense, and the State becomes what in peacetimes it has vainly struggled to become - the inexorable arbiter and determinant of men's business and attitudes and opinions. The slack is taken up, the cross-currents fade out, and the nation moves lumberingly and slowly, but with ever accelerated speed and integration, toward the great end, toward the 'peacefulness of being at war,' of which L.P. Jacks has so unforgettably spoken."</i></div><div>Randolph Bourne</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The powers that be are fond of pointing to the worst government abuse historically on Earth and making claims of moral superiority, but in the end, while the Communist and National Socialist governments in the twentieth century may have harmed their respective populations and those they subdued through war, at least, we have the moral high ground.&nbsp; &nbsp;Of course, this is much like a getting an Underachiever Award at a serial killer convention.&nbsp; The entire system of governance is based on violence and nothing else no matter how noble it is portrayed or how many rose petals litter the dais of the King."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"View any football game or any other sporting event to see the hatred of individualism and dissent. Consider the collective reverence given to the state, its flag, or other state symbols. Consider the unadulterated worship of the military and war. Consider the state of the Fascist economy, a house of cards waiting collapse due to Keynesian (Fascist) economics. Consider rampant nationalism. Consider the love and loyalty by the people of the corrupt and criminal political system, a two party system where only one immoral agenda is sought. Consider the promotion of racism by government forces through its politics of division. Consider 'crony capitalism,' the power and influence of corporate America, and the partnership with government at every level."</i></div><div>Gary Barnett</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The only hope for the restoration of Texas liberties lies with Texans demanding independence from the behemoth that is D.C.; it is the only option left for holding Washington to account for it’s desperate squandering of the future. When we Texans recall our sovereignty from Washington, once again reasserting ourselves as an independent nation, we will have a chance to right the mistakes that are making a shipwreck of America. With control of our government brought closer to home, the president and congress of Texas will always be facing Texans everywhere they go, a constant reminder of where their loyalties belong. Representation will be brought back to realistic and accountable levels, tax dollars will be spent on Texas concerns, and we will control our own money supply. It is not a guarantee of success, but it is a chance, which is more than you can say for reforming Washington."</i></div><div>Jesse Newberry</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"As you know I don’t believe in democracy, I believe in personal freedom. Democracy is workable enough in something like a cohesive city-state. But absolutely not once voters get involved in economic issues—the poor will always vote themselves a free lunch, and the rich will buy votes to give themselves more. Democracy always devolves into class warfare.</i></div><div><i>In ancient Greece, if you weren’t a landowner you weren’t respected. In the U.S., voting rules were determined by the States, and originally, everywhere, you had to be a landowner. That meant you had something to lose. But that’s not the case anymore."</i></div><div>Doug Casey</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The Constitution is an immoral document. It explicates a litany of conditional privileges, subject to modification at any time. That this is done in an orderly manner, via 'constitutionally' prescribed mechanisms, does not make the doing of it morally legitimate.</i></div><div><i>It merely legalizes it.</i></div><div><i>Theft remains theft.</i></div><div><i>Slavery, to whatever degree, remains slavery."</i></div><div>Eric Peters</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Western cultures emphasize the future; view work as a blessing rather than as a burden; promote individuals based on their merit; value education and frugality, are philanthropic, identify with universal causes, and have higher ethics.</i></div><div><i>In static cultures, individuals tend to be fatalistic rather than future-oriented; live for the present or past; work only because they need to; diminish or dismiss the value of education, frugality, and philanthropy; are often mired in nepotism and corruption; and promote individuals based on clan and connections, rather than capabilities.</i></div><div><i>'I am because we are' is how one wag encapsulated the cog-like role of the individual in African culture. In advanced cultures, on the other hand, the individual, and not the collective, is paramount...</i></div><div><i>Magic wins out over reason; community over individual; communal ownership over private property; force and coercion over rights and responsibilities; wealth distribution over its accumulation."</i></div><div>Ilana Mercer</div></div><div><br /></div>Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136818433393147797.post-47073480409032987812018-01-19T14:36:00.001-06:002018-01-21T10:10:16.673-06:00US Crimes of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4wxNc4CmrcQ/WmJWT9nrDrI/AAAAAAAADnM/0NqexLOYEqk9i8mvYQUEhOo3o_ziEUejwCLcBGAs/s1600/US%2BCRIME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4wxNc4CmrcQ/WmJWT9nrDrI/AAAAAAAADnM/0NqexLOYEqk9i8mvYQUEhOo3o_ziEUejwCLcBGAs/s200/US%2BCRIME.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b>Truthful headlines (and just one week’s worth) offering you more reasons to separate yourselves from The Regime’s madness:</b><br /><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://personalliberty.com/religious-charlatans/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Emperor Advised by Pseudo-Christians</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>This woman is the <i>perfect</i> religious spokesman for US loyalists.

Yet, in Washington’s slide towards suicide, there remains hope. More and more Texans have been waking up to the realization that D.C. cannot be saved, and that Texas independence is the only way to restore prosperity and freedom. May 2018 be the year Texas firmly decides to reclaim the self-determination that was always hers. An overreaching Washington is definitely one old acquaintance that should be forgot."</i></div><div>Ryan Thorson</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Groupthinkers constantly believe that their concepts are distinct 'things.' It’s why they think that a 'social contract' is an actual item rather than an idea, why they think 'fairness' or 'diversity' or 'tolerance' are specifically identifiable entities rather than just general viewpoints that different people think differently about."</i></div><div>Garry Reed</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"It’s in the best interests of leaders to convince their citizens that other human beings living in rival gangster nation-states are the enemy. Pretty much all nation-states are run as organized crime syndicates, the only question is a matter of degree. As such, the goal of political leaders is more often than not to propagandize 'the people' into thinking that they are somehow special, the chosen ones, etc. When this sort of propaganda is successful, it provides the pretext for all kinds of barbaric horrors against other humans who are, naturally, less special or righteous than they are."</i></div><div>Mike Krieger</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Passive words like democracy disarm the mind, and then it is only a matter of time before you volunteer to hand over your guns. 'To keep and bear arms' is the opposite of democracy."</i></div><div>Bob Livingston</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Terrorism is defined by Caleb Carr as politically motivated violence against non-combatants and it just so happens that definition is coincident with government behavior at its root and as observed every day.&nbsp; The dozens of agencies that have a charter or sub-charters to deal with formal terrorism cannot even agree on what that definition is. The War on Terror is a nonsensical enterprise on so many levels but you would think a sober government analyst would realize an honest government would pursue this to self-eradication."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The State is the organization of the herd to act offensively or defensively against another herd similarly organized."</i></div><div>Randolph Bourne</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The United States of America, regardless of the misguided belief by the masses that this is the land of the free, is undeniably by strict political definition, a Fascist oligarchy. Yes, there are some aspects of democracy, socialism, communism, and Marxism, but Fascism by the few is the ruling political ideology of today’s America.</i></div><div><i>This explains the obvious mindset of 'American exceptionalism,' and the nonsensical belief America is the epitome of right and good. The root of this arrogant, obnoxious thinking has for generations been by state design. This notion is perpetuated throughout the life of all citizens by state indoctrination and brainwashing, beginning with government controlled schools that claim quasi-ownership of children from infancy to full adulthood. The aim of these institutions is to indoctrinate the masses to produce model citizens in a society that is loyal to community, city, state, and nation, and one opposed to self-interest, self-ownership and individualism."</i></div><div>Gary Barnett</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The Constitution states admirable old ideals, strictly for moral people from another age. While it endures historically as a quaint piece of preserved parchment for tourists to ogle when visiting the Logic Free Swamp, today’s operative 'Constitution' is scribbled on a Magic Slate every day as circumstances warrant. 'Security' has been relegated to mediocre 'Scrabble' word. As a pragmatic reality, it exists only in direct proximity to your personal firearm. The Law and its loin-girded enforcers can no longer be counted on to be a shield for you or your inalienable rights; they are now mere bargaining chips in times of confrontation. 'Innocence' is for old Perry Mason re-runs; your 'case' is only as virtuous as the news cycle is long. We have devolved into a Society of 'Got’cha Last'."</i></div><div>Brian Wilson</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"If I said I was skeptical that a supernatural being put us here on Earth, you’d be justified in calling me a 'doubter of religion.' But if I said I was skeptical that manmade global warming was going to melt the icecaps, that doesn’t make me a 'doubter of science.' Once upon a time, the best minds in science told us the Sun revolved around the Earth. They also told us the Earth was flat, and that a really bad fever could be cured by blood-letting. Happily, those beliefs were questioned by skeptical minds, and we moved forward. Science is a wonderful thing, and a critical thing. But without doubt, science doesn’t advance."</i></div><div>Mike Rowe</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><i>"Liberty is an indivisible whole. When we allow government to violate a few rights here and there, we endanger them all. Rulers strong enough to protect what we deem important are strong enough to destroy it, too. Loving liberty requires that we not only heed this elemental tenet but cooperate with it. No matter how necessary or good something may be, enforcing it at the point of the government’s guns always boomerangs, crushing what we sought to promote while empowering politicians.</i></div><div><i>If we are ever to live free, we must unite around the simplest definition of freedom and fight for it alone rather than for other issues: 'no governmental compulsion against any peaceful person for any reason at any time'."</i></div><div>Becky Akers</div></div><div><br /></div>Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136818433393147797.post-31038071198617833492018-01-12T09:47:00.000-06:002018-01-12T09:50:54.625-06:00US Crimes of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVY9ga0ooXA/WlgSBKWsZtI/AAAAAAAADms/iWPJDjIv3PQMTxSn_ICvk5inDwdi3FlqgCLcBGAs/s1600/US%2BCRIME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVY9ga0ooXA/WlgSBKWsZtI/AAAAAAAADms/iWPJDjIv3PQMTxSn_ICvk5inDwdi3FlqgCLcBGAs/s200/US%2BCRIME.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b>Truthful headlines (and just one week’s worth) offering you more reasons to separate yourselves from The Regime’s madness:</b><br /><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/01/04/trump-rails-against-iran-over-its-human-rights-record-but-he-spares-allies/?utm_term=.d92b3c790dec"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Emperor Exposes Hypocrisy With Iran Comments</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="http://www.irna.ir/en/News/82785844">While his goons intervene</a>, the god-Trump cries about Iran’s “human rights violations,” “squandered wealth,” and “terrorism,” while ignoring his and his allies <i>own</i> such crimes.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/roger-stones-new-gig-lobbying-for-drone-strikes-in-somalia?source=twitter&amp;via=desktop"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Loyalist/Scam Artist Wants Regime Drones to Protect Client in Africa</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>You don’t mind The Regime extorting you and killing in your name to protect “commodity rights and security” in Africa, do you?</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://www.climatedepot.com/2018/01/04/al-gore-bitter-cold-is-exactly-what-we-should-expect-from-the-climate-crisis/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Brain Dead Regime Gangster/Scam Artist Changes Climate Tune Once Again</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>All together now, “War is peace, slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength, and <i>cooling is warming</i>.”</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fbi-director-calls-unbreakable-encryption-urgent-public-safety-151252010.html"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Goon Wants to Destroy Encryption</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Spying on your devices is necessary for “public safety.”&nbsp;</div></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/news-analysis/police-state-thousands-of-americans-electronics-illegally-searched-at-border/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Regime Goons Illegally Search at Borders</span></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Until they can break your encryption, they’ll harass you and brutalize you until you comply.</div><div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="https://www.infowars.com/trumps-new-nuke-posture-draft-allows-nuclear-response-to-conventional-attack-and-new-warheads/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Emperor Likes ‘Limited’ Use of Nukes</span></a></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Translated: Use of nukes is OK unless they explode around him.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Translated: Mass murder isn't so massive when the nukes are "limited."</div><div><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span><a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/world/donald-trump-to-call-on-pentagon-diplomats-to-play-bigger-arms-sales-role-reports-5018146/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Emperor Wants to Arm the World</span></a></div><div><div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>For a price, of course.

For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique."</i></div><div>C.S. Lewis&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Racism isn’t abnormal or unnatural. It’s actually a primitive survival characteristic. It’s perfectly normal, from an evolutionary or genetic point of view. In fact, birds of a feather flock together, and like attracts like. If you’re walking down a lonely city side street at night, who’s more likely to give you trouble: Some young Jews going to a chess club meeting, or some young blacks going to a bar?</i></div><div><i>Of course, we discriminate, based on whatever factors are relevant. It’s stupid not to. But race is just the first filter. There are many others. The key to intelligent and moral action is to treat people as individuals, not as members of groups, whenever possible. Just the opposite of what so-called 'identity politics' is all about. They see people primarily as members of racial, ethnic, linguistic, sexual, or other groups."</i></div><div>Doug Casey</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The state, in order to maintain itself, used and forged many instruments of indoctrination – the family, the church, the school – to build in the soul of the citizen a habit of patriotic loyalty and pride. This saved a thousand policemen, and prepared the public mind for that docile coherence which is indispensable in war."</i></div><div>Will Durant</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Socialism is inherently immoral unless it becomes voluntary – Capitalism is potentially dangerous unless it is bound by the Non-Aggression Principle."</i></div><div>Marley James</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Why do all governments want to confiscate arms of their people? It is quite simple. The government political system fears an armed citizenry. Organized crime, no matter how legitimate it may appear, wants no risk of being overthrown and no personal risk of the politicians and bureaucrats. It wants no threat to the state that it cannot calculate and control.</i></div><div><i>The state is therefore the enemy of the people. Otherwise it would not fear the people and want to disarm them. We can clearly understand disarmament because we recognize that the state and its bureaucrats and politicians are on one side and the people are on the other."</i></div><div>Bob Livingston</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"After all, the real difference between most people isn’t intellectual, it’s emotional, psychological, visceral: libertarians self-identify while socialists group-identify. It’s why, if there is ever to be anything close to peace in the world, that all good, decent, caring people must adopt mutually applied voluntaryism. Let everyone be an individual when they want to be and a part of something bigger than themselves when they want to be, with no coercion or bullying or recrimination from anyone.</i></div><div><i>Forcing square pegs into round holes and round pegs into square holes will forever be a losing game. We are all individuals and we are all social. Help one another when asked but otherwise leave one another alone and we’ll get along just fine."</i></div><div>Garry Reed</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Despite all the court historians, nomenklatura apologists and contemporary mouthpieces who sing paeans to government and the denizens who run it, the agenda remains the same: the destruction of individual direction and volition and the harnessing of the captured citizenry to the whims and will of the self-appointed zookeepers. You have been lied to and civics class in the government education system then and now has been a descriptive mechanism to rationalize yoking individuals into the collective hive of the state.</i></div><div><i>Civics is simply government obedience training."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Throughout the Western world politics has degenerated into fraud. No government serves the public’s interest. Except for some former Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe, European governments have defied the will of the people by admitting vast numbers of refugees from Washington’s wars and others pretending to be refugees. The European governments further imperil their citizens with their support for Washington’s rising aggression toward Russia. The universal failure of democratic politics is leading directly to war."</i></div><div>Paul Craig Roberts</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Nikki Haley is such an asshole, I do not see how any diplomats can take her seriously, much less the North Koreans. She’s mean. She’s demanding. She’s irritating. She has a one track mind. She wants her way and only her way. She doesn’t coordinate with the State Department. On North Korea, she says one thing, Tillerson says another. Trump says all sorts of things. This so-called 'team' is a joke.

It’s so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame."</i></div><div>Frank Herbert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The welfare-warfare state is built on violence and deceit. It is thus inevitable that many of those participating in this immoral system will combine their immoral politics with immoral personal conduct. Hopefully the revelations of sexual misconduct among the welfare-warfare state’s Capitol Hill and media defenders will lead more Americans to question the morality and the wisdom of allowing the federal government to run the world, run the economy, and run our lives."</i></div><div>Ron Paul</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Country is a concept of peace, of tolerance, of living and letting live. But State is essentially a concept of power, of competition: it signifies a group in its aggressive aspects."</i></div><div>Randolph Bourne</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The German state under Hitler was organized crime protected by visible military power, whereas American so-called 'democracy' is a police state without the jack boots and the swastika. Police power in a modern democracy appears more benevolent because it is more subtle or more invisible. But police power is ever present. It normally isolates and prosecutes enemies of the state, radiating its presence through the controlled media for public obedience. This type of police state is accurately described as benevolent totalitarianism. Sometimes, however, it misfires and rears its despotic head in actions like Waco and Ruby Ridge."</i></div><div>Bob Livingston</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"An egalitarian society can only hope to achieve its goals by totalitarian methods of coercion; and, even here, we all believe and hope the human spirit of individual man will rise up and thwart any such attempts to achieve and ant-heap world."</i></div><div>Murray Rothbard</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"All the propagandistic fairy tales that have infused your education and media exposure on the 'good cop' fantasy are just that. The only way for the cops to go after bad guys is for the Internal Affair apparatchiks to do their job.</i></div><div><i>You may have anecdotal evidence of nice interactions with officer friendly but in the end, that cop will do what he is told by his political masters and ring your bell and snuff your life if you disobey it."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"It should now be clear that the U.S. has overextended itself. It is too big and attempts too much control, both here and abroad. However, contrary to the prediction of Ron Paul, a breakup of states, primarily those wishing to escape the control of Washington, may be inevitable. In fact, under certain circumstances, it just may be what the U.S. needs.</i></div><div><i>If Texas were to reassert its sovereignty, using the waning years of the American Empire to stabilize its own systems, Texas could be relatively insulated from the U.S. collapse. However, it is even possible that the loss of Texas might be the very thing to jog the Union back to its senses and get it to finally change its own suicidal policies… Well, at the very least, Texas will be safe."</i></div><div>Ryan Thorson</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Global warming is an infinitely flexible, unscientific, unfalsifiable theory which can be stretched to accommodate any observation. Some Climate Scientists even shamelessly reject the very concept of scientific falsification with regard to the conduct of climate science.</i></div><div><i>No matter what happens to the weather, the climate explainers shamelessly cobble together an explanation which blames bad weather on your sinful lifestyle.</i></div><div><i>Whatever the observation, the climate explainers have their theory – their infinitely adaptable theory, which they claim is science. Warm weather confirms their worst fears. Cold weather is waved away. Whatever the observation, the explainers shamelessly adapt their theory to provide an explanation, based on their 'scientific' theory which cannot be falsified by any conceivable observations, even an abrupt plunge into a new ice age."</i></div><div>Anthony Watts</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Americans have become so accustomed to the concept of sanctions that the policy has become hum-drum and commonplace. Since the violence associated with sanctions is indirect and difficult to see, people don’t put them in the same category as bombs. But the reality is that sanctions, by virtue of their targeting foreign citizens for death, are every bit an act of war as dropping bombs on them."</i></div><div>Jacob Hornberger</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><i>"We are told, 'Except for Native Americans, we are all immigrants or children of immigrants.'</i></div><div><i>True enough – true as well for the 'Native Americans.'&nbsp; By the way, open borders didn’t work out so well for this group."</i></div><div>Bionic Mosquito</div></div><div><br /></div>Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136818433393147797.post-91086303807541889862017-12-28T15:36:00.001-06:002017-12-28T15:36:23.296-06:00US Crimes of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We need to be realistic and recognize the U.S. for the sinking ship it is. We need to stop putting our faith in false promises, and our hopes in Alabama senate races. If we are going to change anything substantially for the better, Texas will have to it on its own.Time to Texit!"</div><div>Ryan Thorson</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"There is an age-old means to free people from coercive states rather than wait for them to implode from gangster-driven economics — secession.&nbsp; It amounts to a public declaration that a certain group of people no longer considers themselves subject to their state’s jurisdiction.&nbsp; It’s quite possible a tidal wave of secessions will occur as states grow more debt-drenched, bureaucracy-laden and weaker.&nbsp;&nbsp;</i></div><div><i>The only problem with secession is the state.&nbsp; States survive by bleeding its subjects, literally (wars) or figuratively (taxes).&nbsp; Fewer subjects means less blood.&nbsp; A state that loses too much blood imperils its survival.&nbsp; Plus it’s a sign of weakness if it can’t check the bleeding, and no state can afford to look weak among the community of like bullies."&nbsp;</i></div><div>George Smith</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"No child is going to be imbued with an entrepreneurial spirit who grows up with the idea that he 'deserves' to be able to do X. This is a self-destructive pity party. Children should also not be taught destructive nonsense about 'the rich,' the one group in society we are permitted to hate, and whose achievements may never be mentioned. Why, they're possibly rich through inheritance! Or by 'exploiting' someone earning minimum wage! This is economic nonsense.</i></div><div><i>If the emphasis is on who is 'deserving,' then answer me this. Suppose eye transplants are possible. My child is blind. Your child has two functioning eyes. Does your child 'deserve' those eyes more than my child? If not, then you are required to transfer one of your child's eyes to my child."</i></div><div>Tom Woods</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"When a collective acts to stop people from leaving, all they are doing is exposing the fact that their reasons for existing are inadequate and unconvincing. This goes for Spain, it goes for the EU and it goes for the rest of the world. Globalists and collectivists should take note — decentralization is the true model for the future. In the long run, forcing people into participation in the system is a losing battle."</i></div><div>Bob Livingston</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"The more dictatorial decrees judges hand down, the more conflict between the losers and winners (just as the Dorks envision), and the more lawsuits to come. That increases the demand for more courts, more personnel, more employees of the State dependent on it for their livelihoods and more victims foolishly hoping government will adjudicate to their benefit next time.</i></div><div><i>Tragically, even the victims seldom ask whether we 'need' such an exhausting system at all."</i></div><div>Becky Akers</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Being an abstraction, America as Idea is utterly devoid of every vestige of historical contingency.&nbsp; Emptied of all of those racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural particularities, the individual and collective experiences of the generations of human beings who made America what it is, American Exceptionalism is bloodless, lifeless, an eternal, timeless category that is designed to accommodate a virtually infinite number of pieces of machinery (human beings)—as long, of course, as those pieces are either indistinguishable from one another or at least treated as if they are such.</i></div><div><i>Thus, we find American Exceptionalists enthusiastically supporting relentless and potentially limitless immigration from practically anywhere and everywhere in the world, but mostly from countries and cultures whose mores, histories, and traditions are often not only distinct from, but antagonistic toward, those of Americans."</i></div><div>Jack Kerwick</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"It is a wonderful political theory, but 'though shalt not' does not bind a community.&nbsp; I really don’t get it anyway.&nbsp; Who really believes that the non-aggression principle is an all-encompassing formula for a peaceful life?&nbsp; Who really believes that the non-aggression principle will define itself, interpret itself, and defend itself?&nbsp; I guess only those who view it as a religion of some sort.</i></div><div><i>In any case, it is all of the 'thou shalts' that we share – not with 100% conformity, but generally accepted – that binds a community.&nbsp; A community with a generally accepted set of 'thou shalts' will come closest to a self-governing community.</i></div><div><i>Something or someone will govern: either learned tradition and culture built on 'what works' or a strongman (whether dictator or democracy) making it up as he goes along.</i></div><div><i>Which one offers more stability in the law?&nbsp; Which one offers the best prospect for freedom in a world occupied by humans?"</i></div><div>Bionic Mosquito</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"It goes without saying that most sober observers would grok that lower corporate tax rates lead to lower prices on goods and services in a modestly competitive environment and all the usual collectivist suspects were mewling and caterwauling about breaks for the rich. Even they would know better if they considered it. But there is a reason. They never assume any of the government produced fiat currency is anything more than a temporary loan to the Helots laboring in the vast feedlots known as America. The zookeepers don’t want a dime repatriated to the hapless laborers. They have so internalized the state, it is outside their moral imaginations to understand that one’s toil and wealth belongs to the individual."</i></div><div>Bill Buppert</div></div><div><br /></div>Enlightened Roguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15149639674145482725noreply@blogger.com0
